NEP Selects FUJINON 4K UHD Lenses

The M-15 is a 4K unit with advanced IP delivery capability and while build is in its final stages of completion, the new lenses are being used to cover baseball games for the Root Sports Northwest network.

In addition to being a fully 4K capable production truck, the M-15 will be NEP USMU’s second ST 2110-capable regional mobile unit. SMPTE ST 2110 standards specify the carriage, synchronisation, and description of IP streams for real-time video production and playout.

“We appreciate our longstanding relationship with Fujifilm and are looking forward to M-15 hitting the road, complete with our new 4K UHD lenses,” said Glen Levine, President, NEP U.S. “The IP system alongside the superior production tools will propel live coverage to a whole new level. For now, the lenses are already creating outstanding images of the games on the M-5.”

“Production teams and crews like the quality of NEP’s newest set of FUJINON lenses,” said Levine. Speaking about the UA107x, he said: “We went with these lenses because of their 900mm telephoto and their ability to do tight shots from long distances. Camera operators have come back from the games happy with how tight they were able to go.”

NEP’s M-15 will be fully 4K capable. “The cost/performance ratio of the entire FUJINON 4K lens range makes them ideal for this new truck,” said Levine. “We always do a thorough cost evaluation, but we will never sacrifice quality to cut costs. These lenses offer great quality while being cost-effective.”
